APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

HURRICANE WATCH

A batch of showers and thunderstorms in association with a low pressure area is located several hundred miles southwest of the southern coast of Mexico. Convection has become weak and disorganized. There is little threat of development in the short term. It could become better organized towards the weekend with an outside chance to form into a tropical depression. There will be little, if any, impacts to land.

Stay tuned!

For Wednesday morning the SW energy will continue to pump and dish up head high to OH sets for the better South facing breaks. The dominant swell will be from 200-205 degrees with 16-17 second intervals.

In a nutshell we’ll see this energy very slowly die out over the next 3 days. The intervals will lessen, the time between sets will increase and the angle will remain 200-205 degrees through the period.

By Thursday morning the swell will continue its slow, methodical decline with shoulder to head high sets from that same 200-205 degree angle. The intervals will drop to a still respectable 15-16 second intervals. The earlier the better as the energy continues to fade into the afternoon.

Once again the South facing beaches will get the lion’s share of the swell.
